He praised foreign aid as wisely spent for world peace and prosperity and urged possible savings in state-related spending. The briefing followed his Bermuda trip with Prime Minister Macmillan and addressed health, sun, and a cough while noting no Bermuda missiles deal would raise British access to guided weapons.
